Iris 2 | IMPORTING AND EXPORTING PATCHES Page 17

When viewing samples in the Full Browser, the folders of your Sound Library will be shown

in the left column and the individual sample ﬁles for the selected folder in the right column.

Use the expand/collapse arrows or double-click on a folder to access any sub-folders in

your sample library.

To load a sample into one of the sample pools, click and drag any sample onto the areas

along the right labeled “Sample 1,” “Sample 2,” “Sample 3,” and “Sample 4,” or drag the

sample directly into a spectrogram.

Preview

To audition samples or oscillator waveforms before committing them to a sample pool,

select the checkbox labeled “Preview.” This will engage automatic playback of any

selected audio ﬁle in your Sample or OSC WAV browser. The Preview volume corresponds

to the current Global Gain setting.

IMPORTING AND EXPORTING PATCHES

Within Iris’s Full Browser are options for how you can work with your patches. Iris’s Sound

Library is comprised of patches and samples which live and are referenced within two

separate folders. When moving, copying, or deleting patches or samples, be aware that if

the hierarchy is not maintained, certain patches may break.

When exporting patches, your .IRIS patch ﬁles will be saved with the audio samples within

them. This is so that patches can be easily shared without worrying about creating sample

directories in the same places as the sound designer.

Import

You can import any .IRIS patch ﬁle into your Sound Library by clicking the Import button

and navigating to the patch you wish to import.

Your imported patch will be copied into the Imported folder which will be created the ﬁrst

time a patch is imported. Imported patches are kept in their same state when copied into

the Sound Library. If the patches were exported and contain their audio samples within

them, that sample information will be preserved within the copied ﬁle.
